On March 29, 2013, Melbourne lost a true pioneer with the passing of Merv Godfrey, the cartographer who created the iconic Melway Street Directory. Merv was aged 89 when he passed away on March 29, leaving behind a great legacy of, in his own larrikin words, “telling people where to go.”

New South Wales introduced the alphanumeric route numbering system to its arterial roadways in 2013, and Sydway Edition 17 was the first street directory to offer the new M, A and B Routes system across its comprehensive maps. Edition 18 is out now, showing these new routes along with many other proposals and new streets.

Is there a street you absolutely love, a parkland that conjures up great childhood memories, or maybe a suburb you are synonymous with? Why not incorporate it into a piece of artwork for your home or office.
